Still gorgeous.

29. I've been going through Niagara Falls for more than 50 years.....

....and they've always had lights. I even remember seeing the rainbow sequence, but that doesn't take away from the significance of the image tonight.

But that hotel in the background is great (is it on the Canadian or US side?)!

Here's a picture from earlier this year when the Falls was frozen

40. The hotel is on the US side.

[Retrograde]

16. The lights have been there for years

I remember the lights on the Falls back in the 70s: it's a simple matter of shining the right colours in the right sequence.

I was a kid then--very exciting.

11. Is that the American side, Canadian side or both?

I have no idea and am just curious

[PeaceNikki]

13. US, from 2011 it seems.

15. thanks for responding so quickly

it has been a great day, but there is still a long way to go for full equality for LGBT, women, immigrants, blacks etc.
But a major victory and worth celebrating.

22. Its the Amercan falls but the lights are on the Canadian side

They illuminate both Falls

14. I thought for sure you were gonna say "....slowly I turned"

Anyway, beautiful. Right on.

[kath]

30. Ha! I thought the same thing.

Bet the younguns have no idea what we're talking about.

[Warren DeMontague]

32. That was my first thought- "I'm showing my age"

[RufusTFirefly]

31. Haha! Me too!

[ginnyinWI]

35. lol!

I remember it...

[hifiguy]

42. Same here.

Very first thing I thought of.

[Cracklin Charlie]

17. N O Way!

Niagra Falls is Number One on my bucket list!

I am not even gay, but I am loving this day! Is it okay with my LGBT brothers and sisters if I soak up a tiny bit of your happiness, and keep it for myself for awhile? I promise to do my best to give it back to you someday.

19. word nt

[sarge43]

37. What Cracklin Charlie said

Yesterday was a rainbow day for all of us. Let freedom ring.

[hifiguy]

43. Feel the same way.

It was as good a day as I can remember in a long, long while.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

DU needs to have a heart like the one on Facebook.

[BrotherIvan]

Perfect in every way.

[Jack Rabbit]

21. There must be a small earthquake in the vacinity of Jerry Falwell's grave tonight.

From a straight man to all our gay friends at DU . . .

23. All these pics are great. We need a "from sea to shining sea"

Compilation of rainbows across the country.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

24. All the Imagineering geniuses

38. WOW, gorgeous!

[LiberalEsto]

39. Slowly I turned, step by step...

Couldn't help myself. It's an old Three Stooges routine.

This photo is amazing!

[LiberalLovinLug]

41. Had to add...

Aaron Jackson's house across from the Westboro Baptist Church with his “message of love paint job.

”

[Arugula Latte]

44. Wow!!!

[mak3cats]

45. Even if this is an older picture, it still resonates...

I live less than 10 miles from here. I have the pleasure of being acquainted with the mayor of the city (a Democrat, of course). He officiated at the first same-sex marriage in the state when it became legal here in New York; it was held at the brink of the Falls right after midnight. (I have also had the pleasure of meeting the couple who was joined, but only once.)

The building in the background with the colored lights is the Seneca Niagara Casino. Our Native brethren obviously were celebrating with the rest of us enlightened folk.

It's a beautiful thing.
